[QUOTE="Mun, post: 23307, member: 17916"] Just to share, came across this Auto Express tyre test and was wondering how the Pirellis I'm using perform for comparison to my own experience. I do tend to agree with the results on dry and wet. One aspect that seems to validate my concern is aquaplaning. It does jiggle. So now that I know it does not react very well to water ponding although handling in wet pretty good. Something to stick into my mind.So guys, Do share your opinion. Conti seems to be a good all rounder.Scroll down for the verdict. tyre size was 225/40R18Might try Conti next.
